Netflix and Warner Bros. TV have struck a deal today allowing U.S. Netflix members to stream complete previous seasons of dramas produced by the WB. Among the shows coming to Netflix are NBC's Revolution, A&E's Longmire, ABC's 666 Park Avenue, USA's Political Animals, as well as The Following with Kevin Bacon, which premieres on FOX later this month.

Additionally, Netflix is adding hit WBTV series Fringe, Chuck and The West Wing.

"This unprecedented agreement brings to Netflix members earlier and more exclusively than ever before complete previous seasons of some of the most prominent and successful shows on network and cable television," said Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos.

The agreement covers the current slate of eight Warner Bros. shows, as well as potential future shows. The various series will be made available via traditional syndication windows, electronic sell-through services and on a catch-up basis for recently aired episodes.

The press release says these shows will come to Netflix "next year," though it's likely we'll see these shows this fall, given previous series that have been put on Netflix around the same time the DVD season sets are released.

Update: We've checked with Netflix and Warner Bros. and are told the current seasons of ongoing shows will be available on Netflix this summer.
